I have twin girls that started at Orange Tree very quickly after the unfortunate immediate closure of their previous nursery. They were very accommodating; understood that we were nervous about how the girls were going to adapt. The girls have been there for almost a year now and have flourished they
love going and have made lots of friends. I have good trust in the nursery nurses to inform me throughout the day if there is anything I need to know.

My daughter started nursery at just over a year old in August and it's amazing how far she's come in just a couple of months. The staff at orange tree are great and love all the activities they get up to! My favourite being the pumpkin foot prints! I am always updated throughout the day and Freya loves
her days at nursery!

My little boy started in the blossom room in August at 10 months old.
He has enjoyed meeting other babies in the blossom room and has been thriving.
The nursery staff have been exceptional and so supportive from the start.
He has formed a great bond with his key worker Poppy and I know he is in
great hands which has been so reassuring.
The app is updated regularly and I can see he has been involved in fun activities which are beneficial for his learning and development.
I am so glad we chose the orange tree :) x

My son started at orange tree day nursery Hucknall in August 2024 at 10 months old. He settled in so well and the nursery kept me well informed throughout the day to ease any worry. My son has CMPA (dairy allergy) and this was well monitored, and despite this allergy, the kitchen staff were amazing
and ensured he hasn't felt left out by continuing to give him a broad range of dairy free alternatives. My son loves going to nursery each day, and that is down to the staff and variety of activities and opportunities offered to him on a daily basis.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have two children at Orange Tree and are so happy in the knowledge that they are being supported to learn and develop well there. They love attending nursery and it's always felt like a big family to us - the staff genuinely care about the children. We've always been very impressed with the extra
touches like cards being made for special occasions, events held throughout the year, projects to get involved with at home, etc.
The nursery itself is such a lovely, welcoming environment too. Overall we can't recommend Orange Tree in Hucknall enough, we feel it's one of the best decisions we've made for our children.

My little one started at orange tree when she was 11 months old and has been there almost a year. I couldn't be happier at how welcoming, caring and supportive all the staff have been. She has come on so much with her development and gets excited when we arrive through the gates. It's a huge relief
to feel I am leaving her in exceptional hands with staff who clearly love what they do.

Our daughter loves going to Organge Tree in Hucknall. The staff there are amazing. She's been with them since Blossoms and is now in Butterflies as we can't believe the progress she has made. Everyday she comes home from nusery and has learnt something new. Orange Tree go above and beyond to accommodate
everything. The updates throughout the day on the app are amazing as we can see what has been happening and we love the daily picture.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience with Orange Tree Nursery in Hucknall has been fantastic. Our daughter joined in August 2024 after moving from another nursery, and she's absolutely thrived since starting. The staff are so friendly, supportive, and genuinely caring - they made her feel settled straight away and have helped
her grow in confidence and independence.


We've been really impressed by how well they communicate with parents and by the variety of fun, creative activities the children enjoy each day. It's clear that the team truly love what they do and care deeply about every child's wellbeing and development.


Our daughter looks forward to going in every morning, and we couldn't be happier with the positive environment and care she receives. We're so grateful to the wonderful team at Orange Tree Nursery - we'd highly recommend them to any parent looking for a nurturing, welcoming place for their child.

Our son has been at Orange Tree for a few months now and is thriving there! He is learning songs, growing in confidence and is looked after so well.
They always make sure that he is looked after & fed & they have been accommodating when needing extra days here and there when we've had childcare
needs.
Brilliant nursery! Best decision we have made.

A nursery that truly puts your child and their wellbeing at the heart of everything that they do. I regularly receive communication about my son's progress and development, including a picture every day, allowing me to feel like I am not missing out on any milestones. They have gone above and beyond
in helping his development, and I couldn't be happier.

My daughter has been at Orange Tree for around 6 months now, she has come along really well becoming more confident around other adults and children. Regular photo updates is always reassuring she is enjoying her day, and having plenty of garden time. The staff are lovely, and my daughter feels comfortable
and reassured by them. I've always found my daughter playing and interacting upon collecting her from nursery.

Our children thoroughly enjoy going to The Orange Tree Nursery and we are pleased that we can leave our children in the knowledge that they are happy and well looked after. It is a home from home and gives us peace of mind. The children enjoy the food and the kitchen accommodate our son's allergies
to ensure he gets the same varied and nutritious meals as the other children but tailored to his diet. The Management and reception always make themselves available for parents and are helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and there is a good variety of toys, books and messy play. They are very understanding of our children's needs. When we had an external safeguarding concern related to our adopted children, the nursery took it very seriously and helped to reassure us by going through all their safety measures. The staff are all friendly and seem genuinely happy to see the children. We love that we get regular updates and photos (and a daily diary entry for the younger one).

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.993 for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall is calculated as follows: ( (429 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 432 Ratings = 4.993
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Hucknall is based on 36 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 160 number of registered child places is 32, which has been reached with 36 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
